I agree with the entire, this is getting VERY old, enough already crowd.<BR/><BR/>2. RR was at a school that did not have the same resources that we do at Michigan. It is possible that he was looking for ways to increase revenue at WVU so that he could create a better program. I don't see that he needs to do that here. Could there be some "ego" of his involved in it, probably, but ultimately he was trying to create a bigger and better program with less, so yeah.....sell some ads....do what you can to increase revenue, it has been said before, CFB is a business......can you blame him? <BR/><BR/>I do hope it all ends soon.........no matter how clean RR may be, he is getting dirty the longer this goes on.Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13211189736220105987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17480875.post-70050341900579895482008-01-24T20:55:00.000-05:002008-01-24T20:55:00.000-05:00a good widget will get you more ass than a good Ve...a good widget will get you more ass than a good Vette any day of the week.<BR/>............................................Uhhh Josh I'll take two please!;)Tom Chttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09762737229678024923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17480875.post-24143210748766138682008-01-24T19:08:00.000-05:002008-01-24T19:08:00.000-05:00SiC,Lose the dog.

It's been around for a while. I doubt that coaches have been clueless and are just figuring out how to stop it (although that certainly may be the case!). You need smart, athletic guys on defense and a gameplan. I don't know exactly what Jim Leavitt did against WVU, but the Bulls were prepared and also had a few turnovers go their way.<BR/><BR/>There are some teams that you can beat by just running the same 3 spread option plays, but against teams like OSU with better defense, no doubt you need an offensive gameplan and the ability to adjust to game situations. I hope to God that RR can do that.Feelin' Bluehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05370402836358077479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17480875.post-41835973629513324592008-01-24T15:42:00.000-05:002008-01-24T15:42:00.000-05:00SiC,Isn't she an OSU grad?According to this blog s...SiC,<BR/><BR/>Isn't she an OSU grad?<BR/><BR/>According to this blog she should just deliver the pizza and not worry about widgets.whetstonebuckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13855497571093157762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17480875.post-35260122158168950122008-01-24T15:37:00.000-05:002008-01-24T15:37:00.000-05:00Dude- she's an MBA.

Therefore additional demands were made after immediately signing a contract. Maybe these things were promised verbally, but if you're not smart enough to have things put in writing then that's on you. The contract can be found in the court filings, since I'm sure the only response on here will be "get over it" or "shut up crazy WVU fan" or "you're a liar":<BR/><BR/>http://www.wvbusinesslitigationblog.com/Exhibit%20D%20to%20WVU%20v.%20Rodriguez%20complaint.pdfNathanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12284200034456185015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17480875.post-91346569501662180782008-01-24T14:51:00.000-05:002008-01-24T14:51:00.000-05:00Joshua,His demands for complete control over the 1...Joshua,<BR/><BR/>His demands for complete control over the 1100 club and how certain funds were spent is not something that appears to be in the actual contract, by reading the actual contract.Nathanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12284200034456185015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17480875.post-23509340456274039702008-01-24T14:44:00.000-05:002008-01-24T14:44:00.000-05:00"if he was promised things within his first year t..."if he was promised things within his first year that were not met then he absolutely has a right to be pissed and leave in that instance, but I haven't seen evidence of that yet."<BR/><BR/>"My point was that it is slimy to sign a new deal then immediately demand more.

I personally think our AD should be fired for other things long before this RR situation (going back to horribly screwing up the bball coaching search prior to Beilein) but it seems your only evidence that he is a proven liar is that you simply choose to believe RR. <BR/><BR/>As for the Magee situation, there's just not much evidence to back up his accusations. I was bashed on here a few days ago over the shredding incident b/c it was all based on an "unnamed source." Well Magee's entire accusation is based on one "unnamed source" within the AD. If you were told by your employer that you would never move up b/c of your skin color would you continue to work there, even for a day. It's not like he didn't have another job, he was already on his way to Michigan. Even you have to say that doesn't make much sense.Nathanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12284200034456185015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17480875.post-17827552994079547732008-01-24T14:32:00.000-05:002008-01-24T14:32:00.000-05:00Aren't you the clarence darrow?

I apologize greatly for challenging your inaccurate statement. The AD is absolutely racist b/c Calvin Magee said so. So racist in fact, that he decided to go ahead and coach the bowl game. Truth is he wasn't considered for the head coaching job b/c no one even knew we had an offensive coordinator until RR left. He had always called the plays. <BR/><BR/>Joshua,<BR/>I agree that if he was promised things within his first year that were not met then he absolutely has a right to be pissed and leave in that instance, but I haven't seen evidence of that yet. We might if this thing actually goes to court. I know some of the bigger demands are in the process of being met, such as facilities but we just dont have the resources to erect an entirely new athletic department in one year, and he knew that when he signed the deal.
